Kadaru ಕದರು

Kadaru (ಕದರು) means "mix" or "scramble" in Kannada. This tool scrambles images while preserving local texture and destroying global structure.

Examples

Here's the Kadaru logo scrambled in two different modes:

How It Works

Kadaru uses two scrambling modes:

Block Mode

• Divides your image into a grid of square blocks
• Shuffles the blocks using a seeded random number generator
• Block size controls how fine or coarse the scrambling is
• Max scramble distance limits how far blocks can move from their original position

Column Mode

• Divides your image into vertical strips (columns)
• Shuffles columns left and right
• Column count determines how many strips to create
• Preserves vertical coherence within each strip

Seeded Randomization

The scrambler uses a seed derived from your image's dimensions and pixel values. This ensures:

• The same image always produces the same scrambling pattern
• Different images produce different scrambling patterns
• Results are reproducible

Max Scramble Distance

This parameter controls how far blocks or columns can move from their original position:

• 0%: Blocks stay very close to their original position (minimal scrambling)
• 50%: Moderate scrambling with some spatial locality preserved
• 100% (Unlimited): Complete random shuffling with no distance constraints
